CBTA's latest big project, HOT SHOTS
tennis courts, is now complete, at a cost of over $105,000. Built behind courts 1 and 2 Panania
Tennis Centre and the Pro Shop, we were lucky enough to have the land
donated by Panania Diggers Club. The Club have also helped this
wonderful children's project with land clearing and many other things.
Thanks to two Grants from Community Building Partnership Scheme (State
Government, endorsed by Glenn Brookes MP), the CBTA could start this
project and it finished before Xmas (Dec 23). Grand opening was
on Saturday 14 February 2015,
at 10am.
PHOTOS OF THE PROGRESS AND THE OPENING HERE NOW. Ring Steve or Caroline
at the Centre 04413 656085 to have
a go on these marvellouse new little courts - bring the kids/grandkids
and try them out!

GOOD NEWS: Mens Autumn Badge commenced 21 March and there's a team

Ring them for some more information about these centres and the great
coaches that run them and all the facilities they have. All the
centres have

There have been changes to the Tennis NSW
membership costs which CBTA are passing onto their members.
You can now join for as little as $10 if
you are a regular player. For this you will
receive a CBTA card, entitling you to discount court hire and
services at our 5 centres.

If you are just a social or community member who doesn't play very
often, you may not need a discount card - join up at our 5 centres
for FREE anyhow and be a part of our great club!
